Loving it!
on August 29, 2026
Posted by: Kelly O
I wanted to get the Whoop but didn’t want to pay the monthly fee. I was really excited when the Cirqa came out. I’ve had it a few weeks so still waiting on some of the reports to come in. The training readiness, sleep score and performance reports have been great to me identify areas I can improve my health. I feel like I’m becoming more aware of my fitness.

What I expected so far
on August 29, 2026
Posted by: Erichart
It looks nice and is comfortable to wear all day and night. Bought as a way to not always have to wear my Garmin watch and it does just that. Not having an altimeter in it seems really cheap to me, the unavailability of bands whether it be wrist or bicep is unacceptable these days. There is no way the battery will ever last 10 days, it’s below 20% in 3. Overall happy with it other than the battery life

Disappointing Battery Life Leads to Return
on August 29, 2026
Posted by: G Robles
Having used a Whoop for a few years, my expectations were high. I was hoping to save on the monthly subscription fee while automatically tracking the key metrics I rely on.
Unfortunately, the device fell short in a couple of critical areas. First, the battery life was a major disappointment. With settings configured similarly to my Whoop, the battery lasted under two days—far short of the advertised "up to 10 days." The only way to extend it was to restrict tracking strictly to the evening, which completely defeats the purpose for me. On top of that, connectivity to my bike computer was spotty at best, making the heart rate readout on the head unit pretty inconsistent throughout my rides.
Ultimately, I decided to return the Cirqua. I hope these shortfalls are addressed in future updates, as the device has great potential.

Not for me, at least not now.

I sent this band back immediately. First, I ordered the smaller size because my wrist circumference was in that range, but because the clasp doesn't really come apart, I couldn't get my hand through it. Secondly, I think the sensor device is way too long. I'm sure this will change when the second generation comes out. I'll wait until you get the bugs out.

Not Accurate
on August 29, 2026
Posted by: Markham_Guy
I’ve been a loyal Garmin customer for years, my bicycles all have Garmin computers, my watch is garmin.
This product was rushed, the sleep tracking stopped working after 3 days of use, after waking up it would read that I burned 650 calories , not accurate at all.
I waited months for the Cirqa, even returned a Whoop band given to me as a gift., I wanted my Garmin app to handle everything. I have returned the the cirqa band.

Nice tech, with some disappointments
on August 28, 2026

Great tech as usual from Garmin. I am disappointed that it doesn't measure elevation and it's just too large (wide).
